NEVADA.
yETOED.

Governor Stevenson last Tuesday vetoed
the much-talked about lottery bill. 1t was
supposed that he. would. From the FIRST we
have been unable to understand how the
Legislature could make a law that would
hold and at the same time be clearly uncon
stitutional. To amend the Constitution
will be the only way to- establish lottery,
and this will take two years, and must be
done by vote of the people. Whether or
not it would be good thing for this State
to have lottery, is hard to say; but we are
Of the opinion that it would not be such a
great detHment as many suppose. Thous-
ands of dollars are now being sent out OF
this State every month for lottery tickets,
and no attempt is made to enforce the law
prohibiting the sale Of these tickets. II
this manner Of doing business is to be con-
tinued and there is really no possible way
Of stopping people from investing in these
tickets, it is our opinion that Nevada had
better have lottery of her own. To be
sure, more people would invest in the home
institution than are now sending their money
away, but the fact must be taken into consul
Grafton that the money. at least great part
Of it, would stay in the State; also that
money from other States would come here
to some extent. There are cities in the
East where gambling and grosser vices are
permitted for the purpose Of helping sup
port the city. Some years ago Omaha's
sporting population built large and elegant
school.house for the city upon the under
standing that gambling and other sporting
houses should not be interfered with for a
certain length Of time. When the time was
up the school.house was completed, and
shen it was agreed to keep the streets in re-
pair and build new ones provided the au-
thorities would not modest them for certain
further length Of time. In this way that
city was greatly benefited, and if lottery
could be made 10 work on some such princi-
pie, the money to be used for irrigating pur.
poses, we believe that the Constitution
of this State should be so amended. But
those who were most interested in trying to
knock the Constitution out all at once dur
ing the last session would have done better
had they attended to few other little
things the people wanted done.

Another OF Nevada's Pioneers J0ins

The news of the somewhat sudden death
Of James Downey, Sr. reached this Office too
late last week for more than trief notice.
The following has since been learned: Mr..
Downey was a native Of Liverpool, Eng.
land, and at the time Of his death, which
occurred last Friday, was 81 years of age,
having been born in 1890. He came to this
country at an early age, having when boy
followed the sea for a livelihood. In 1852
Mr.. Downey landed on this coast in San
Francisco, and still followed sailing as a
business until about 1860, in which year he
married and gave up the life of a sailor to
join the great throng Of gold seekers then
pouring into the Golden State. He drifted
around until he at last landed in Mono
county. After remaining there but short
time he moved to Aurora, this State, and
thento Pine Grove, Esmeralda county at
which place he made comfortable fortune
in mining operations. When the last named
camp went down Mr.. Downey went to Ma
son Valley and invested his money in such a
manner that his fortune increased instead OF
decreasing. From that time until his death
Mr.. Downey was a resident of Greenfield,
Mason Valley, and there was probably not a
better or more favorably known gentleman
in that section of the country than Jim
Downey. For the last few years he was iu
i'll health, the disease that was troubling
him being bronchitis in an aggravated form.
Several times he sought a change of climate
but all to no effect. Mr.. Downey's remains
were brought 10 Dayton last Saturday even
ing and the funeral took place from the Odd
Fellows Hall Sunday afternoon. Mr.. D.
was member Of the Aurora Lodge Of this
Order, in good standing. Many Mason VAL
ley friends were present, and the remains
were followed to the grave by large mum.
Der OF deceased's friends from all parts oil
the county. Mr.. Downey leaves a wife and
FIVE children, two daughters and three sons.
The eldest daughter is the wife Of Mr.. John
Barton, Of Green6eld; the other children,
Miss Kate, Frank. James and Joseph, are
not married. The berieved family has the
sympathy Of large circle OF friends in its
hour of sorrow.

DIsGRACE AND DEATH. sad case
of suicide occurred in Hagerstown
Tuesday night, under peculiar and de-
stressing circumstances. For some
time past nightly robbery, or rather
pilfering, had been occurring in the
store of r. M. Hays Il Bros. Among
the things stolen was a revolver. At
last these matters became unbearable,
and on last Tuesday night Ira W. Hays,
editor of the Globe and Walter M.
Wolfe determined to remain in the
store all night. About IL O'Clock the
watchers heard someone unbolt the
shutter and the person came up near
them and struck a match. Hays re-
cognized the burglar as A. L. Bowser
who had been an employe in his office
for over ten years. Hays lighted the
gas in rear of room and cried out Abe
we know you Be quiet and nothing
will be DONE At the same moment
the deceased lodged behind the count
er and fred pistol which he had in his
hand. Mr.. Hays therefore fired in d.
rection of Bowser Then there was ST.
lence. Bowser was called several times
but made noanswer. Apoliceman was
summoned and upon passing behind
the counter was astonished to see the
dead body of the printer. DIR. Mason
testified that the burnt powder marks
upon the ear and the location OF the
wound was unmistakable proof of sui
eide. caused by discharging bullet
from revolver with the muzzle held
csose to the head. The suicide was no
doubt committed through fear or shame.
The whole matter is sad affair, and
should be- warning to those who would
appropriate to themselves property be-
longing to others. Brother Hays did not
fire at deceased, as any one who knows
his kind and forgiving heart, well can
assert. The father Of the deceased
man when he saw his sons cold, lifeless
body, was so overcome that he tainted.
